Olga Kotelko (see video below) is not your average
ninety-five-year-old.

She not only looks and acts like a much younger woman, she holds
over twenty-three world records in track and field, seventeen in
her current ninety to ninety-five category. Convinced that this
remarkable woman could help unlock many of the mysteries of aging,
my guest on today's podcast, Bruce Grierson, set out to uncover
what it is that’s driving Olga.

What you'll get to hear today is not only a tremendously uplifting
personal story but a look at which parts of our health and
longevity are determined by the DNA we inherit at birth, and which
parts we can shape ourselves. You'll discover how your genes,
opportunities, and choices forge the course of your life,
especially during your golden years. During our
discussion, you'll discover:-The fascinating story of
Olga and how she has defied aging...-How to discover if
you have the the Superstar gene,
the Worrier gene or Warrior gene, and how this affects your
longevity...-One big myth about stress, adversity
and aging...-What Bruce thinks about the new class of
telomere activating drugs...-Why plaques in your brain
may not be as big an issue as you may think...-The single

longevity...-A trick that Olga does with an old wine

age...-How you can
change your living and working environment to maximize
longevity...
